Cooperative 2-4 Player : Player starts only
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Player starts only
Other game styles : None
Difficulty Settings : Yes
* Construction *
Base : New from scratch
Build Time : One year
Editor(s) used : Too many to list
Known Bugs : In ZDoom 2.1.7, it is possible to get stuck in
MAP03: Mineopoly after raising the rock stairs,
as the engine does not properly handle the map's
voodoo doll script, rendering the switch to lower
the stairs inaccessible. This does not occur in
any other source port.
MAP28: Token Arch-Vile contains HOMs in the
building with the bridge when viewed in OpenGL
rendering modes. These are mandatory, as fixing
them would otherwise ruin the bridge effect in
software renderers. It also features no music
whatsoever, but this was intentional; it was a
decision on the author's part, and is not an
oversight.
Several maps also contain sky transfer specials,
introduced by the port Marine's Best Friend,
which do not work in Boom; at the time they were
designed, PrBoom and its brethren allowed sky
transfers under Boom compatibility. This is
merely a cosmetic issue, though, and does not
affect gameplay. Apart from this, there are no
other incompatibilities.
May Not Run With... : Doom2.exe, or any port that isn't
Boom-compatible
